Blake’s 7: Season 1

I’ve just finished watching season 1 of Blake’s 7, and I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s been wonderful. I’m really looking forward to the next two seasons, which I’ll almost certainly watch soon enough. The more I watch Blake’s 7 the more I realise just how underrated it was.

So, on to season 2.

Finished watching heroes

Or have I? I got to the end of the fourth season to find that this wasn’t really the ending I was looking for at all! In fact it was in many ways just left hanging. Not satisfactory in any way. I realise that it is now very unlikely that there will be another series commissioned, but I just wish that these kind of things would get left in a decent state!

I’m a bit disappointed by this as you might tell.

Blake’s 7: Seek, Locate, Destroy

The last episode of Season 1, disk 2. Servalan and Travis arrive on the scene and things start to get much more interesting. I love it! It’s made me think about re-listening to the audio-books that I’ve got and even getting a few more from Big Finish.

Watching Voyager again

I was really pleased to see all the episodes of Star Trek Voyager come to CBS action. Watching them again from the beginning is just great, and as they’re on daily I can watch them in pretty quick sequence, although they do build up if I don’t watch them soon enough.

New series of Primeval, no, sadly not

Whilst Primeval certainly wasn’t the best of science fiction, it was also not the worst, and it had a lot of good points. So I was really pleased to hear that it was coming back to ITV1. Sadly, whilst that’s true, it isn’t actually a new series. It’s just ITV1 showing series 5. From what I’ve read it seems unlikely that a series 6 is going to come about after all.

That’s a shame as I think they were going in some good direction. There’s still some hope, but it is slim.

Blake’s 7, from the beginning

I just had to see the whole of Blake’s 7 again. I don’t know why, I just got it into my head that I really wanted to see it all again. So I’ve started right from episode 1 and my plan is to work my way through the lot.

After that I might even go on to listen to some of the newer Big Finish CD stories.

Star Trek: A piece of the action

One of my all time favourite episodes, it’s excellent and very unusual for Star Trek, but lots of fun. I’m really enjoying the re-runs of Star Trek. Apart from seeing lots of episodes that I love there’s also quite a few that I’ve never seen, or at least that I can’t remember.

The Trouble with Tribbles

One of the most famous Star Trek episodes. Yes, it’s funny, yes, it’s a bit silly, but it is a huge classic, and it can’t be ignored. After all, it inspired follow up episodes in the animated series and in the Deep Space 9.

It’s awesome.

Bill Shatner on have I got news for you

What an enormously enjoyable show. I haven’t laughed so much in ages and ages. He was completely awesome, most especially when he sang songs from his new album, although perhaps sung is the wrong word. My favourite of course being his rendition of the sex pistols ‘God Save the Queen’.
